I'm certainly not an expert on the various licenses. My limited understanding is that if you don't care what anybody does with it, including selling it as a commercial product, then BSD or MIT are two that are short and sweat (I generally use BSD, but forget why).
If you want to limit its use only within other open source projects, then GNU GPL or GNU Lesser GPL. These both require anybody redistributing the code to keep it under the original license. The Lesser license is for libraries to allow use of the libraries in other programs without restrictions while retaining the limitations for the source code. I think that the GNU licenses have some gotchas that aren't well understood when a user wants to use your GPL project along with some other non-GPL project, so might scare some people off. I don't believe that GPL prevents somebody from selling your project commercially, so long as they offer the sources to anybody who asks for them for free under the same license. Not sure how anybody could make money this way, except maybe by selling support? The apache license is another popular one. Not sure what it's limitations are. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. :-/ -Bruce On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 11:24 AM, [email protected] < [email protected]> wrote: > Made all the mods to the preprocessor so it handles free form text between > #rom statements.
